What Are the Microsoft 365 / Office 365 SMTP Settings?
If you’re in a hurry, let’s jump right into the Office 365 SMTP settings:
SMTP Server: smtp.office365.com
Port: 587 (learn more about SMTP ports)
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires TLS: Yes (if available)
Authentication: Yes (choose Login if multiple options available)
Username: Your full Microsoft 365 email address (e.g. name@yourdomain.com)
Password: The password associated with your Microsoft 365 email address. You or your Microsoft 365 admin entered this password when creating the email account.
Note – if you’re having issues using these SMTP details, you might need to enable SMTP authentication in your Microsoft 365 admin. We’ll show you how to do that later in this article, but you can click here to jump straight to that section.
What Are the Microsoft 365 / Office 365 IMAP Settings?
While the Office 365 SMTP server lets you send emails using Office 365, IMAP and POP3 let you receive emails that have been sent to your Microsoft 365 email account. If you want to set up Microsoft 365 with an email client, you’ll typically need to use either IMAP or POP3 credentials to receive email in addition to the Office 365 SMTP server for email sending.
Overall, IMAP is the better choice if you plan to access emails from multiple devices because it allows two-way syncing. However, POP3 can also work if you’re only using a single device.
The Office 365 IMAP settings are as follows:
Server: outlook.office365.com
Port: 993
Encryption method: TLS
Username: Your full Microsoft 365 email address (e.g. name@yourdomain.com)
Password: The password associated with your Microsoft 365 email address.
What Are the Microsoft 365 / Office 365 POP3 Settings?
If you’d prefer to use POP3 over IMAP, you can use the following credentials:
Server: outlook.office365.com
Port: 995
Encryption method: TLS
Username: Your full Microsoft 365 email address (e.g. name@yourdomain.com)
Password: The password associated with your Microsoft 365 email address.
